THIBODAUX — Lafourche authorities are searching for a man who allegedly robbed a Bayou Blue-area fast food restaurant of more than $500 this weekend.

The suspect threatened the cashier of Sunrise Fried Chicken, 1820 La. 316, with a knife, ordering her to open the cash register around 3 p.m. Saturday, Lafourche Sheriff’s spokeswoman Sgt. Lesley Hill-Peters said.

After taking the cash, he drove away from the scene in a two-toned, light dark and blue GMC pickup truck with tinted windows and a bug shield on the hood. The truck is also believed to have a black plastic tool box in the back.

The suspect stood around 6-feet tall, wore a thick mustache and yellow, long-sleeved shirt with blue stripes and was estimated to be between 35 to 45 years old, authorities said.

If you have any information on this crime, the Lafourche Sheriff’s Office asks you to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-743-7433. You do not have to give your name to be eligible for a reward.
